Question
A one-year-old child has been suffering from repeated coughing without improvement. After initially taking Azithromycin, the child switched to Cephalosporin. Four days after discontinuing the medication, the cough worsened. Can the child still continue taking Cephalosporin?
Answer
I’m glad to assist you. Based on the provided situation, the cough has been ongoing for some time. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a consultation and X-ray examination to assess the health of their lungs and airways. Additionally, routine blood tests and mycoplasma tests should be conducted to develop an appropriate treatment plan based on the results. Intravenous treatment may be necessary if required. It is currently not advisable to self-medicate. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you and your family, wishing you all good health!
